Here we go! Running away with the Circus 2.01: Code name: Denver

I got up early on Wednesday (I know Jerome, 8 AM is early for me). It took a bit for the final bits to be finished. Packing the van, laundry, etc. I took some time to activate my 23 hour fitness membership. Now I am guaranteed a place to take a shower. I stopped by […]

Well Shoot.

Yesterday (July 13) I was planing to travel to Loveland to visit Rita, who was there for an event. Unfortunately when I was getting ready to go I could not find my car keys. I searched all over the suit. I then called the Addeco (the temp agency that hired me) and they could not […]
